Spotify’s Windows Phone app is finally getting a refresh, while free version is coming soon

Music streaming service Spotify’s Windows Phone app is finally getting a refresh later this spring, bringing in some big features that have so far been missing.

The update, announced today, will see Spotify’s Radio, Browse and Discover features finally landing on the Windows Phone app — which means users will get to listen to personalized radio stations, browse through what is hot and new on the service, and gain access to various ways to discover new music. It will also bring “significant improvements” — presumably to the user interface — and a brand new design.

The updated app will only be available for Spotify Premium subscribers at the beginning, but the company says that its recently-announced free, ad-supported and shuffle-mode mobile streaming service — which is available to all users — will come to Windows Phone soon.
